There’s a lot of pressure on the first post of a new blog.
Bear with me here. I’m a little nervous.
Over the course of my life I’ve become more and more interested in the many aspects of popular culture, ranging from music, movies, television, video games, books, and so on. Unable to focus on one particular aspect, I simply found the whole lot of it engaging. As many know, it becomes an obsession of sorts.
With the advent of the internet, keeping up on pop culture has become a lot easier. News is readily available for those that know how to look, and it becomes quite simple to “scoop” your friends. At this point in my life, most of mine come to me for all the news; after all we have the same interests.
Little do they know, I only tell them about one third of all the news I even read; most of it isn’t pertinent to our interests.
It then occurred to me: I was only telling them the stuff that mattered to me, the stuff I found engaging, and the stuff worth actually hearing about.
So, I decided that I may as well have a proper forum for these revelations. It would help me to keep everything organized (since I might forget to relay certain stories as my head becomes more cluttered), and would help me ensure that I’m keeping everyone up to date.
I’ll start by filling you on what’s happened the week up to this point. After that I hope to update on things as I hear about them in a more consistent fashion.
As I get things running here, you might notice some changes as well. And suggestions will, of course, always be welcome. Unless you want me to report on all the news. That’s not why I’m here. I’m here to tell you about the stuff that really matters.
The Marko matters.
I hope you all enjoy it.
